It turned out that Shuvanov was more difficult to deal with than Anton imagined, because Kasyan did not return to the place Anton imagined, but stopped directly at the intersection, and the huge carriage stood there with no intention of moving.
.
Well, this made Anton and his friends dumbfounded - what kind of trick is this? You don't play according to common sense!
For a moment, Anton doubted whether he had been discovered. But soon after, as news came back from a friend who was passing by disguised as a passerby, he knew that he was wrong.
Anton was not exposed, but Shuvanov was particularly cautious. Kasyan did not know where Shuvanov would stay. What he knew was to wait at the specified place at the specified time.
When the time comes, Shuvanov will naturally appear. The benefits of doing so are obvious. The risk of his exposure will be further reduced. Even if his careless subordinates are exposed, he will not be implicated.
Sure enough, not long after waiting at the intersection, another ordinary carriage stopped next to Kasyan's carriage. The two carriage drivers began to talk with expressions on their faces:
"Is it you I see, my dear friend?"
"Your blue waves are in front of me..."
"Why are you late?"
"No, you came early!"
After some nonsensical joint codes, the two parties finally got down to business:
"Is this normal?"
"The earl is still the same, reclusive and reclusive..."
"Very good, you return to the station and pay attention to see if anyone is following you!"
After a simple and quick connection, the two carriages immediately parted ways, one heading south and the other heading north. At this time, Anton's friend couldn't help it anymore: "Hurry up and chase them! They are going far away!"
Anton grabbed his impatient friend and said calmly: "Don't worry! Things are not that simple!"
Yes, things are indeed not that simple. The reason why Shuvanov arrived later is very simple. He is to observe whether Kasyan is being followed, and their speeding away is also very particular. As long as the pursuer tries to follow up.
, he will soon be discovered by the observation post he arranged at the next intersection in advance.
It has to be said that Shuvanov is indeed a veteran of the third part. His basic tracking and observation skills are very solid, and his counter-reconnaissance methods are also extremely skilled. He will be discovered if he is not careful.
It's just that Anton also prepared a move in advance. He had been on guard against this move for a long time. He had arranged for people to observe the surrounding intersections in advance. He would record in detail the direction in which each leaving carriage disappeared, and also quietly
If you send someone to guard you, you won't have to worry about getting lost.
Why Anton was so cautious? It was because of his failure in Istanbul. The target he tracked that time was as cautious as Shuvanov. The inexperienced Anton suffered a big loss immediately, which directly led to the failure of the operation.
.
So this time, Anton learned his lesson and perfected all the details to the extreme, so that Shuvanov could not catch any flaws.
However, Anton was dumbfounded by Shuvanov's series of tricks. After making a big circle around Bucharest and changing at least four carriages, Shuvanov's destination was a straight line away from Alexei's manor.
No more than 500 meters. This bastard really shows his black hair under the lamp to the extreme!
"Next time, go farther and send letters to Kasyan and the others. Don't always send letters to them in the same place. It's easy to be exposed!"
"Well, and let Sergey go next time! This guy Kasyan is still too sloppy and does not make people feel at ease!"
"By the way, have you looked carefully today to make sure no one is following them?"
"Sir, just don't worry, we're watching carefully and no one is following you!"
Shuvanov nodded slowly and said: "That's good, but you still have to be more careful. I have lived in this garden for too long, and I have to change it. Last time I asked you to find a suitable place nearby. Did you find it?"
"I found it. A mile away to the east, there is a local noble who is ready to sell it and run away. The price is not expensive."
Shuvanov hummed and ordered: "Rent if you can, buying it is a waste of money! If you can't do it, you can only buy it, and keep the price down!"
Shuvanov is also a little shrewd. Although the funds provided by him this time are both sufficient and enjoyable, wouldn't it be nice to save the money and put it in his own pocket? He has no interest in buying a bunch of Wallachias that have no appreciation value at all.
Real estate is useful, and he has no intention of retiring in a sterile place like Wallachia, not even in the capital Bucharest!
But Shuvanov didn't know that it was useless no matter how smart he was, because he had already been exposed, and Li Xiao would not let go of a guy with ill intentions like him.
"This guy is hiding under Alexei's nose?" Li Xiao was also a little surprised, "It seems that he is really harboring evil intentions! This guy must not let himself go!"
In an instant, Li Xiao came up with countless ways to make Shuvanov disappear without anyone noticing, but these methods had more or less sequelae, especially letting Duke Ordorf know about Shuvanov's disappearance.
If he was also active in Bucharest during that time, it would be difficult not to doubt him.
In fact, Li Xiao was a little overthinking. Duke Ordorf actually hoped that Li Xiao could get rid of those nasty people like Shuvanov. They were not his confidants anyway, and the things they did caused him great embarrassment. It would be more satisfying to die a hundred times.
But Li Xiao's caution is understandable. After all, no one told him that Shuvanov was not Ordov's man but Uvarov's dog. And even if someone told him, Li Xiao would still act cautiously, because
He knows very well the real influence of Uvarov. This old bastard is no easier to deal with than Ordov, okay?
After thinking about it, Li Xiao became more and more hesitant. There were many ways in front of him, but there were really not many that would not cause trouble. For example, he could simply lead people to the door and get rid of Shuvanov.
But there are too many flaws, and it is difficult to hide it from old foxes like Ordorf.
After much thought, Li Xiao decided to adopt the safest and least safe method - killing someone with a borrowed knife!
He told Anton: "You go to Jan Constantine or Nicola Ionescu. No, they are not good enough. You go and write an anonymous letter to George Stribe to report Shuva."
Nov, say he is the murderer of Barbu Cataljo, let them deal with that guy!"
When Anton heard this, he was stunned at first and then thought that it was good. Letting the Wallachians take action was indeed the way to minimize the consequences. Even if the third part was traced afterwards, he would only think that Shuvanov did not act carefully enough and was betrayed by the Wallachians.
If the Guiya people find out, they will never suspect them...
